I've ordered season 3 I will wait for a 1/2 year before I get season 4. This show is great my family likes it and we watch it together. I like the serial feel to the show.

Torchwood is rather more...ahem...adult. No explicit sex scenes but a lot of John Barrowman swanning around being gay.Thinkingstuff said:I found that one (episode) irritated me. Whats the deal with Rose being left in an alterante universe! I just found out they also have a spin off series called torchwood is that good?

I've said it before, but Catherine Tate was excellent in The Runaway Bride. I couldn't stand Donna Noble at the beginning, but, by the end, I wanted Donna to go with him.The runaway bride episode had me laughing.
Well, there's a reason inside the show and a reason outside the show.So far they make it seem as though the Doctor must have someone since he's lonely. And what I find interesting is the Doctor's obsession with Earth. Why?
Because he's heterosexual and girls are pretty.And Why only women? Though being male it is quite clear to me. Yet he's an Ancient Alien from a doomed ancient race. Why the interest in human females?
ccrobinson said:As far as loneliness, the Doctor never had this problem before the Great Time War. Now that there are no other Time Lords, he's lonely.

Outside the show, if the Doctor does something in the 37th century on some alien planet with aliens that nobody cares about, then nobody cares and nobody's watching. If, however, the Doctor is on modern day Earth dealing with an alien invasion, then people will watch.
Inside the show, the Doctor does have adventures on places other than Earth, but we don't see most of them on-screen, only in the various books that are written. In S3's Utopia, there is a statement made that the Doctor clearly agrees with that I think comes closest to explaining his interest in Earth.
Because he's heterosexual and girls are pretty.
Especially Martha Jones, his companion in S3.
The Doctor has spoken of being a father, and I think we have to assume that Gallifreyans, and thus, Time Lords, procreate the way humans do. For those who, lurkers and non-lurkers alike, know what Lungbarrow is, let me just say that I don't believe that book to be canon. If it's good enough for RTD to dismiss certain things as not being canon (half-human anyone?), so can I.
And what the deal with the face of Boe?
ccrobinson said:There's so many things I love about S3. One thing that I haven't mentioned in this thread is how things that we saw in the first 2 seasons came to fruition in S3, showing how much RTD planned these 3 seasons out.
1. Rose bringing Captain Jack to life at the end of Parting of the Ways. I always wondered why the Doctor abandoned Jack.
2. The Doctor losing his hand in the fight with the Sycorax in Christmas Invasion.
3. The Face of Boe promising a secret in New Earth and delivering it in Gridlock and realizing what it means in Utopia.
4. The sheer brilliance of Human Nature/Family of Blood, which is a fantastic story all by itself. I think HN/FoB is the best Doctor Who story ever, and one of the best things I've ever seen on television. Not only is HN/FoB fantastic, but the Chameleon Arch is introduced in such a way that if Utopia had been the first time we'd seen it, it would have been a cheap trick, a Deus Ex Machina device. By telling an entire story about it being used, it wasn't a cheap trick. Of course, HN/FoB also showed us The Fury of the Time Lord, which makes us consider the Doctor in a different light.
5. The cheap time trick in Smith and Jones wasn't a cheap time trick when the Master went back 18 months before the election, which would have been sometime in S2. The Master would have started influencing events leading to his election no later than Love&Monsters.
Here's an idea I had today. Maybe the reason the TARDIS went to the Age of Steel Universe was to avoid a collision with itself when it was taking the Master back to Earth after he stole it.
6. The brilliance of John Simm and the Master. The Master was written perfectly and Simm was a fantastic casting choice.
Captain Jack becomes The Face of Boe.
Don't mention this to Pete, btw. I think it left him :BangHead:.

Matt Black said:I too am pretty dubious about the new guy (never even heard of him before) and would have much preferred Paterson Joseph (contestant on The Weakest Link in Bad Wolf, S1), but those more 'in the know' about such matters over here have no such reservations about young Master Smith, so I guess I should defer to their better judgment.
